Letter #16

Hello Family!
How is every one doing?? The work is so interesting here!  We spend out time knocking, knocking and knocking.  Its weird that it is September.  It is weird because it doesn't feel like fall.  The leaves are starting to change colors a little but the heat is just started to be bearable.  The past few weeks have been about 100 degrees or more, but it is starting to be around eighty or so.  I feel like it is going to be weird to have a fall without some freak blizzard.  Mom has been asking me for the past few weeks how we get around.  Well we definitely have a car.  We cover a whole stake so our area is pretty big.  We have a limited amount of miles so alot of times we will just park somewhere and walk around.  Spanish people usually congregate in one area so if we find someone we just knock all around to see if there are any other Spanish people.  Since school has started here we haven't had to move anyone this week. So for service we decided to do some sidewalk chalk.  I got a letter from Tia the other day with a picture of how they taught Lehi's dream with chalk in someones driveway so me and my companion decided that it would be a fun activity to write a scripture down or draw the plan of salvation or something so on saturday on the sidewalk next to the church we wrote a question of the soul and then mormon.org both in Spanish and English. I am hoping that someone will see it and visit mormon.org.  Speaking of mormon.org you should ALL go visit it and make a profile.  It is such a good website and it such a cool missionary tool.  There has been a big push for mormon.org in the church.  The family that was just baptized came to church yesterday!  YIPPEEEEE!!!! They haven't come for the past few weeks.  I don't think it is because there faith is lacking or anything, there lives are really crazy because they are trying to find another place to live because there living situation isn't very good.  WE teach them in the church now for our lessons. They are such a wonderful family! I got some pictures from Tania this past week!  Thank you so much Tania!!! It was so fun for me to see everyone together having so much fun. One thing that happened this past week that was really cool was that we had a sisters conference.  All of the sisters in the mission got together.  Kind of like a zone conference, but just sisters.  I was able to see my MTC companion and talk for her for a few minutes.  We had a great time and it was fun to see all the sisters and talke with them.  There is only about 20 in our whole mission and about 10 that speak spanish.  That is crazy considering our mission is pretty big! We had another really cool experience this past week.  One of the families in the unit wanted to take us out to dinner because this is my companions last transfer.  The mom, Ingrid, is the sweetest lady. She is always smiling and ALWAYS laughing.  It always lifts my spirits to talk to her and her family.  The only problem is she is not living the law of chastity and is living with her boyfriend.  He is making small steps of progress and wants to go back to mexica and that is the reason why he won't marry her.  Anyway they have the cutest little girl and I was able to play with her the other day.  I wish I could express how much I love this family and wish that they would just get married!  Ingrid has a daughter that has a few kids and also is not married.  It is so surprising to me the problem we have in the unit with people not living the law of chastity.  They just all need to get married!! Well i hope that everything is going well.  I am grateful for all of the support that I am getting from everyone.  I love you all:)

there is one more thing that I wanted to tell you.  My companion wil
be coming up to Rexburg in the winter.  I really want her to come see
you and visit you so you can meet her and just love her as much as I
do!  So i'm going to give her something to bring to you so she has a
reason and it won't be awkward.  I will be giving her our number so if
a Katy Burch calls answer and set up a time to meet.  Is there
something you would like me to send??  Well I love you!
